Jason Jagel for MF Doom's OPERATION: DOOMSDAY Deluxe Reissue

Besides being a talented fine artist based in San Francisco, Jason Jagel has built a dedicated body of work creating imagery surrounding underground hip-hop icons, Madlib and MF Doom. The latter work has found its way in a deluxe reissue of the classic MF Doom album Operation Doomsday. . .

For the occasion, Jason Jagel's work of Doom, which we saw on exhibit at FIFTY24SF Gallery last year, which included a standout piece seen above and below, will now featured in the deluxe reissue of the 1999 album, Operation Doomsday. The deluxe edition will be released on June 21, 2011, and according to Stones Throw, will feature 42 tracks, lyric book, tin box, new artwork, and weigh 3.5 pounds.
